The letter of motivation explains why you have chosen this programme at KTH, what you hope to gain from it and how your interests and skills will help you succeed in your studies. Include an autobiography with the development and relevance of your academic and professional pursuits, extra-curricular activities and related experiences. KTH does not require a standard template, but it must be in English and less than 500 words. Could you help me review and suggest areas for improvement while trimming down any unnecessary words?
My name is xxx, a graduate in International Finance and Senior Analyst at xxx, providing real estate investment services to investors and occupiers. As a well-rounded academic and professional achiever in both Finance and Real Estate with an aspiration towards Sustainable Development in developing Smart City and Green Building Practices, I am writing to express my strong motivation to apply for the MSc Real Estate and Construction Management at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).
During my undergraduate at the xxx, I grew my passion for research and formulated my understanding of corporate sustainability through a scientific competition. There, I investigated the impact of stock liquidity on crash risk in Vietnamese listed companies to discover the importance of appropriate governance mechanisms in ensuring transparency and protecting investors. Meanwhile, the research experience also showed me how different functions in economic and financial networks interacted to maximize value and enhanced my analytical skills and understanding of market systems.
The skills and knowledge I gained through this academic pursuit have proven instrumental in my career transition to the real estate sector at JLL. Within just three years, I evolved from a fresh graduate responsible for data collection to taking on greater responsibilities in delivering comprehensive market research. From analysed data, I visualise market trends and identify investment hotspots through the utilization of advanced platforms like Power BI and MapIT. I then offer meticulous funding strategies for sustainable, large-scale smart-city projects and green office buildings with ESG-aligned criteria, balancing project appeal and high returns. My work has helped maximize financial returns for our clients, including corporations, investors, and funds and continue their interest in Vietnam's potential market.
With the current trend of foreign investment shifting toward sustainable initiatives in Vietnam's real estate, I work with many local developers to enhance their projects' appeal to be aligned with long-term green goals to attract foreign sustainable investments. However, I have noticed that international investors have raised significant concerns about Vietnam's limited domestic supply of resources and insufficient awareness of green real estate and smart initiatives. As a result, foreign investors often have reservations in collaborating with local developers and must seek xxx's expertise for clear, strategic investment guidance. This situation highlighted the importance of strategic sustainable strategies that feature inclusive, sustainable, and territorial planning with proper risk management for foreign investors.
Aiming to contribute to facilitate sustainable investments for foreign investors while contributing to Vietnam's development, Sweden immediately came to mind as one of the ideal destinations for academic and professional growth. In the real estate sector in particular, its recent focus on sustainability investment and the pursuit of green goals through advancing Smart City initiatives and sustainable building practices has also become a focus for Vietnamese developers. As a Vietnamese professional, I am eager to learn from Sweden's experiences and innovative approaches, recognizing the potential to apply these strategies in Vietnam's rapidly evolving real estate market.
Within Sweden, pursuing a master in Real Estate and Construction Management at KTH will allow me to learn scientific and methodological approaches from excellent faculties. The Degree Project in Building and Real Estate Economics module will demonstrate skills in developing and evaluating solutions that balance human needs with sustainable development objectives while Project for Construction Project Managers implement collaborative strategies to enhance sustainability in construction processes and outcomes. Furthermore, KTH's extensive high-quality publications on Smart Urban Development and and Sustainable Building align perfectly with my intended area of study. Collaborating with students and professors at KTH would provide valuable opportunities to uncover relevant findings, particularly in developing countries, thereby contribute impactful solutions to establish Vietnam's consistent energy transition and set environmental standards to drive sustainable improvements in its real estate sector. In addition to the academic area, I await participating in the KTH Innovation to collaborate with global experts. I could continue enhancing my innovation skills, creating value and resilience that contribute to sustainable development and address global challenges, and preparing for an international career.
Post-graduation, my passion lies in contributing to the development of green real estate project across Sweden, aligning with the country's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045. Leveraging my growing expertise in smart city and green building solutions, I aim to serve as a vital bridge connecting Swedish investors with Vietnamese real estate companies with seeking lucrative investment opportunities within high-potential markets. In order to create a transparent working environment to attract foreign investment, I intend to share the formal education and insights gained from Sweden's learning approaches with local developers and corporations in Vietnam. This knowledge transfer will enable Vietnamese stakeholders to improve resource allocation, promote compliance, and attract investment to markets with strong green technology facilities and lower risks. In turn, this will reinforce investor confidence in Vietnam, spearheading green real estate projects and boosting local employment opportunities.
I sincerely appreciate your time in reviewing my application and hope to be considered for your next class, where I can actively contribute to and benefit from this transformative educational and experience at KTH.
